Hello Bitnet users:
I found CP/M library for Bitnet communications. You can send requests to
rpicicge's LISTSERV in CPM FILELIST.
VAX/VMS: SEND LISTSERV@RPICICGE GETND filename filetype
IBM/CMS: SMSG RSCS RPICICGE LISTSERV GETND filename filetype
Note: VAX users, When you receive netdata without destroying binary files.
I had tested it for downloaded and unpacked. When you RECEive files:
$ RECEIVE/BINARY *
/binary protects from EBCDIC-to-ASCII alters binary files. I recommand that
use kermit to download it. Xmodem will not works with variable-type files.
You should not request too many files due to keep quiet tranmissions.
WANCHO: You should transfer all pd collections to Bitnet CP/M libary.

Please disregard Timothy Stark's mention of how to access the CP/M
files stored on LISTSERV@RPICICGE. He apparently stumbled onto a
small set of files I had stored there long before the demise of
the Simtel20 server. (It was an unadvertised cache of my down-loads
from Simtel20 and those of a few others.)
The full CP/M archive as of June 17 is available from LISTSERV@RPICICGE
with (and only with) the /PDGET command as mentioned in a previous
posting.
By the way, the server apparently has a major problem handling
certain case-sensitive network addresses. Vacation has prevented me
from attacking the problem sooner, but as my time permits I'll be
looking at it. My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
If you have observed any other problems, please let me know directly.
